....a quieter part of the madina in Essaouira - many narrow alley ways are filled with handmade goods - here you can see some of the magnificent rugs and materials that are sold. I would have loved to have captured this old man as he walked towards me but did not want to impose, so I quickly took a shot after he walked past - he was a wonderful character. He definitely makes this shot.

Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter. - Ansel Adams
Another good one Patti. Don't you just kick yourself when you don't snap the shot when you want to. I know it is best not to impose but.............. Great photo nonetheless. At least you left mystery as to how he looks. That is a good thing. I like the lone figure meandering down the narrow street. Colors are really great. Excellent post.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
Lovely presentation - it really suits the narrow street and the colour chosen compliments those wonderful carpets. I think perhaps the old man facing that way is better than had he been coming towards you - gives one the feeling of wanting to follow along the street.

A really good and interesting shot, Patti. the old man really does add character to the shot. Did you buy a carpet?

If you have some minutes why don't you come visiting my gallery ?
Sums up the essence of North Africa to me, a network of narrow streets with hidden shops trodden by wise old faces. Love the light too, even though this must have been fairly well shaded you still get a sense of the heat.

Great capture of him ambling his way down the street. i like the border and it's color all of which enhance the image.

Just what Nigel said! lol Great shot and the perfect fellow to capture. I too held my camera low so as not to offend, but I think if you ask, folks don't seem to mind having their photos taken.

"The more we come in contact with animals, and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care for their young." - philosopher Immanuel Kant
I think this is great as it is and the old man makes the great image look even bigger! Very fine work.
